It provides programming and events for undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Toronto, York University, Ryerson University and 'emerging campuses' such as Seneca College, Humber College, George Brown College, OCAD and the satellite campuses of York (Glendon) and U of T (University of Toronto Mississauga and University of Toronto Scarborough).

Hopesfall

The band followed The Satellite Years with 2004's A Types, which had a more alternative rock sound and was a drastic stylistic departure from The Satellite Years — notably, Forrest's vocals were almost exclusively clean singing.

Indian Deep Space Network

IDSN began to track Chandrayaan 17 minutes after its launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Launch Centre at Sriharikota, when the satellite separated from the launch vehicle.

Kosmos 2470

On 24 February 2011, Deputy Defence Minister Vladimir Popovkin announced that the satellite would be unable to fulfil its mission and thus would not be used by Russian defence forces.

Maritime Vsat

Since a ship at sea moves with the water, the antenna needs to be stabilized with reference to the horizon and True north, so that the antenna is constantly pointing at the satellite it uses to transmit and receive signals.

Nilesat 101

Nilesat and Eutelsat have agreed in September 2005 to lease capacity on Eutelsat’s Hot Bird 4 satellite after relocating it to 7° West and renaming it to Nilesat 103, the satellite is scheduled to be repositioned to this location in second quarter 2006 after the launch and entry into service of Eutelsat’s Hot Bird 7A and Hot Bird 8 satellites.
